My Xtreme Hike Story

My CF Story started over 30 years ago with the birth of my son, Nathan. Like most young parents in 1992, I didn't know what CF was. When Nathan was born and life-flighted, we quickly learned that parenting is no joke! Nathan was in and out of the doctors office for 1+ years until he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Once he was diagnosed, we started the overwhelming change of life-style that included daily airway clearance, medications and routine doctors visits.
We are so thankful today that through hard work and great scientific advances Nathan is 31 and healthy! He enjoys staying fit by weight lifting and playing golf and basketball. He even has a son of his own! Not all CF patients have been so blessed and we will continue to fight until CF stands for Cure Found!
Won't you join me this year in an extraordinary adventure across the Grand Canyon to help raise awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis!! Please click the link and donate!
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m hiking to help change that reality.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
